Origin: Kagoshima, Japan
Grade: A5 Japanese Wagyu
BMS: 11+
Discover the rich, beefy character of our Japanese A5 Wagyu Chuck Tender, expertly sliced for authentic yakiniku. Sourced from Kagoshima Prefecture, this premium cut combines the exceptional marbling of A5 Wagyu with the naturally robust flavour of the shoulder. While leaner than traditional premium steak cuts, the BMS 11+ marbling transforms Chuck Tender into an incredibly juicy and flavourful yakiniku experience, delivering the perfect balance of tenderness and satisfying bite.
Texture
Chuck Tender has a naturally firmer muscle structure, giving it a pleasantly meaty texture with more bite than highly marbled loin cuts.
Thanks to its abundant A5 marbling, each slice remains exceptionally tender and juicy, with the intramuscular fat gently melting during cooking to soften the muscle fibres while preserving the cut's signature texture.
Recommended for customers who enjoy a richer beef flavour with a satisfying, steak-like bite.
Flavour
Bold, intensely beefy and packed with savoury umami.
As a shoulder cut, Chuck Tender develops a deeper, more pronounced beef flavour than many premium loin cuts. The luxurious A5 marbling adds a delicate buttery richness that balances the robust character of the meat, creating a full-bodied flavour with a clean, lingering finish.
Grilling Recommendations
For the best yakiniku experience:
- Grill over high heat for 20–30 seconds per side until the marbling begins to render.
- Avoid overcooking to preserve the cut's tenderness and natural juiciness.
- Pair with sea salt, freshly cracked black pepper, or a light yakiniku dipping sauce to enhance its rich beef flavour.
- Allow the slices to rest briefly before serving to maximise flavour and moisture retention.
